The White Horse - Central Bedfordshire

Came in for the Saturday “Thai Kitchen” evening for the 2nd time and wanted to leave a review of the great food and service received. Very friendly welcome into the pub, drinks order taken and shown to our table. Food order taken (set menu but were happy to make tweaks at our request). Every single dish on the menu tonight was delicious and all tasted beautifully fresh and authentic. We were given plenty of time between courses (at our request) no rushed feeling that they want you in and out that you sometimes get at restaurants. This is a great little ‘pop-up’ type dining experience and great to be able to get it on your doorstep. We hope you get the support required to continue this.

Decided to stop in for lunch as we were passing by, but we only ended up ordering drinks as the place seemed run down. We were disappointed with the warm beer and overall appearance of the pub and gardens. We won't be coming back, despite the nice exterior.

The pub is quite big inside, but despite this, we were only given the option of sitting at one of two tables. The rest of the pub was almost empty. The tables were uncomfortably close to a group of three already there, making it difficult to sit comfortably. It seemed silly to be so cramped when the rest of the pub was so empty. My husband tried the fish and chips, which he found to be okay, but I opted for the vegetable lasagna, which was both small in portion size and lacking in flavor. Disappointed by the main course, we decided to skip dessert. When we got home, I ended up making myself a sandwich because I was still hungry. The lady tending the bar, who also served our food, was attentive, but overall the food could definitely use some improvement.

We had a nice sandwich lunch were able to sit outside and really enjoyed the place. Food was of a good portion, a little pricey but at the end of the day it was tasty and satisfying.

We had seen some very negative reviews about this pub but we liked the menu so decided to give it a go as it was local to us. We were very agreeably surprised as our experience was totally different to what we had read. We were greeted by the friendly landlady and given a pleasant table overlooking the village green. My husband ordered the steak and ale pie which was served with cauliflower cheese stem broccoli carrots and mash which was all delicious. I opted for the chicken salad with garlic bread which was good with huge chunks of chicken. Greedily we order dessert..treacle syrup sponge and the roulade with ice cream..yummy. Not a huge choice but enough to want to return.Especially as service was good and the staff charming. We were very pleased that despite negativity beforehand. It is a cosy little pub which deserves local support in these hard time.
